On Monday I put up the Christmas tree. This was a little backwards this year as the outside lights are usually the first thing to go up but our family outing to the in-laws shifted stuff around. During Christmases past, putting the lights on the tree has always resulted in a minor argument between the Wife and I as we struggled to get them on straight and evenly spaced (Last year may have been the exception to this as I don't remember arguing). This year I decided to ensure some Christmas peace in our household and put the lights on the tree by myself before the Wife got home from work. I managed to do a pretty good job. The only issue I had were lights who stubbornly refused to light but, after a half hour of fiddling, participated.
The Wife spent a lot of time this week putting up all the other indoor decorations.
Today I finished it all off by decorating the outside - hanging the LED lights along the roof line, hanging the large wreath, and hanging the big balls from our oak tree. Unfortunately we don't have enough big balls. I think our oak tree has grown bigger. This means off to the store this weekend for Christmas decoration shopping.
Yes! Buy more balls! You need them!
ReplyDeleteI really think "We don't have enough big balls" should have been the title of this post. Yeah, I know, I'm juvenile that way. ;)
ReplyDeleteCan we expect pictures?
Lol, you cheated your way out of the "annual" Christmas ball argument? :)
ReplyDeleteMH: What are you saying? That I don't have balls?
ReplyDeleteGH: We'll see with the pictures. I wish I'd thought about the title.
Godefroy: I preemptively struck against the argument. I wouldn't call it cheating I would call it self preservation.
